Another site worth hiking for is Toktok Al-lan. This is actually a big boulder which sits on the slope of a pine-covered mountain. Legends say that Al-lan was a cruel giant. Because of that, Kabunian (Igorot god) turned him into a rock. From a distance, the rock resembles the head of an ape.
Whoever said that one mountain is just like any other clearly does not know what he’s talking about. Or hasn’t gone to more than one mountain. Simple as that. I love how, despite experiencing something that is seemingly ordinary, we are still somehow given a surprise. It’s like the Creator is telling us, “So you think you’ve seen everything, huh? You think you’ve experienced the best and the finest. Well, I have a lot of aces up my sleeves to show you yet.” To which, I could only say, “that is one looooong sleeve you got there. BRING IT.” One of those aces, it turns out, is called Mt. Polis
